Just as Chen Xi was pondering whether to give the aristocratic families another hint, Jii Ling rushed back with Yuan Shu after a journey of frost and snow.
When Chen Xi went to Liu Bei's house, Yuan Shu was passionately recounting his experiences in the north to Liu Bei, showing no awareness of being a rival leader; Yuan Shu's thought process was indeed peculiar, not worried that Liu Bei might harm him.
"Greetings, Lord Xuande, Brother Gonglu," Chen Xi bowed and interrupted Yuan Shu's speech.
Yuan Shu's expression was noticeably displeased, but upon seeing it was Chen Xi, his dissatisfaction immediately vanished, "Come, come, sit, sit, sit."
Yuan Shu seemed to be in his own home, turning his head to shout outside, "Serve tea, quickly serve tea to Zichuan."
"What's up with this guy?" After sitting down, Chen Xi transmitted his voice to Liu Bei.
